A customer needs an 802.11ac upgrade for an office with cubicles. The customer states that, because they planned locations for the existing 802.11n APs so that there are no coverage holes, they will simply deploy the new 802.11ac APs in the same location as the existing APs. The customer plans to support mobile devices in addition to laptops.
What should the architect explain about why a site survey is desirable to determine the optimal locations for the new APs?
An 802.11ac deployment should prioritize a capacity-based design to ensure optimal performance, catering to a higher number of devices and higher bandwidth requirements compared to the older 802.11n deployment, which likely focused on coverage. Hence, conducting a site survey allows for an assessment that includes capacity considerations, ensuring that the new APs are placed in locations that can handle the increased load effectively, especially with the expected use of mobile devices in addition to laptops.
I believe this is B. A is not correct, C is not correct and D appears incorrect as well.
B is correct
B is correct! Check Review coverage versus capacity & Capacity model (high bandwidth)
